Many phrases for defecating use the word “take”. It makes no sense to me
One man’s “leave a shit” is another man’s “take a treasure”
Ich scheisse.
Make a shit
That part is usually already done by that point.
I dunno. Maybe it’s not called shit when it’s still inside you? Like a magma/lava situation?
100% original realization, way to think of it.
Tru. Im gonna go with “commencing shit” from now on
Don’t start no shit, won’t be no shit
Shit sequence engaged
Psssh. Beat it, chick. I’m taken.
spoiler
Taken a shit.
I prefer the phrases “imma go shake a tit”
It’s not meant to mean taking a literal piece of shit. “A shit” in this context means the entire act. Take a break, take a shit, take piss, etc., refer to doing the act.
Or in other words “shit” is a verb here being used a diminutive of the act which is the noun. Like when you take a run, or take a ride, take a walk, or take a hike.
So what do you think happens to all the shit you leave around? Someone’s gotta take it.
Sure. But it’s not you.
Wait… is… is it you?
That’s irrelevant. But if someone leaves it, someone else will have to take it, is what I’m saying. Like in general.
That’s irrelevant.
Oh… Oh, no. Lol!!
I don’t know what kinds of allegations you’re trying to insinuate here. This isn’t about me anyway.
Not insinuating. I would never insinuate such things. I’m implying, maybe inferring, but certainly not insinuating.
Take ~= have ~= do
Take a break == have a break, but a break isn’t a tangible thing, so this is shorthand for “do the actions required to constitute a break”
I don’t want to have a shit, either – I’m trying to get rid of the dang thing!
Then this is one verb you should definitely not noun
I see that… but I would argue breaks can be given. Therefore one can take a break.
Break being almost a non continuation of something. There are two beings involved. And as you point out, you can also perform action consume a break.
Taking a poop is slightly different because one is giving an offering. Although one can consume poop too but I guess it’s a different frame.
Tons of people give a shit tho
Correct, but a different context than OP’s framing.
Some leave a shit, some give a shit. Can you give a shit by giving a shit? Hmm. Possible maybe under special circumstances.
Don’t mind me, these are poopy thoughts.
I’m just giving you shit
“I’m going to take a shit.”
“Well don’t take any of mine! I’m saving those for later!”
I once told a version of this at a stand up open mic, it did very well.
Chinese people say pull a poop, and I think that’s beautiful.
I like ESL wording of “make poop/shit”
Oooo new debate: push vs pull
Reminds me of the ASL sign for it
Shit as a verb, not a noun.
That’s the bizarre thing about English. Maybe native English speakers don’t really think about it, but as someone looking at this mess from the outside, I can tell you that it’s really nice when verbs and nouns are distinct.
Someone’s been listening to George Carlin.
I actually haven’t heard much of his stuff. Does he do a bit on this?
